	4.	Confidential Information. 

  

	 	a.	Centershift and Licensee each acknowledge that it may have access to certain confidential information of the other party concerning the other party’s business, plans,
Licensees, technologies, products, services and other information held in confidence by the other party (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes all information, in tangible or intangible form, that is marked or

publicly known through no fault of the receiving party, (b) is in the receiving party’s possession prior to disclosure by the disclosing party, as evidenced by written records, (c) is hereafter received from a third party as a matter of right
